Patti Rosenberg, LMFT — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Patti!

I believe everyone needs an outlet to vent and gain a better perspective. When we're invested, our best judgments are clouded. It's my job to shed light and help you gain a new perspective in whatever situation you're going through. I work with children, adolescents, individuals, and couples.

My focus

I enjoy working with all ages, particularly adults and couples. I value openness and honesty, and practice what I teach. I have training in trauma, eating disorders, and personality disorders. I will see couples, but if I see you as part of a couple, I will not see you individually.

My approach

I begin by building rapport. I want to know who you are, what your beliefs are, and your thoughts on your situation. I engage in talk therapy and move to a cognitive-behavioral approach. Everything starts with a thought. It's our place to learn to recognize any irrational thought and change it.

My communication style

I am an active listener. I want to understand. I also teach communication and use an assertive approach. I value my clients, and every situation is new. I am easy to talk to and make time for my clients.

My journey to mental healthcare

I knew I wanted to be a therapist since I was a little girl and had my own therapist. She changed my life. Since then, I have known that there are many people in this really big but lonely world who are hurting, and I could perhaps be that one person whom they can talk to.

My goals for you

We will work together, beginning with the first session, to create goals. These goals will be short-term and long-term. We will look at the progress each session and change goals as needed.

Our first session

In the first session, I want to get to know you. I will do an assessment, which means lots of questions. I will also answer any questions you have. We will work on goals, and I will provide direction for therapy.
